Essendon excitement machine, Alwyn Davey, will miss tomorrow's ANZAC day clash with Collingwood after injuring himself during training this morning.

Team manager, David Calthorpe, said Davey will have scans on Monday.

"Alwyn won't play tomorrow after hurting his right knee in training," he said.

"It was an innocuous incident. He was simply doing a running drill and there was no player contact so we are at a loss to explain exactly why it happened.

"It's unfair to speculate on what he has done but, based on initial tests, we are quite concerned.

"Further examination on Monday will reveal the full extent of the injury."

Calthorpe said losing Davey is a blow because he is an important player and was excellent in last year's ANZAC day game.

No announcement has been made on who - out of emergencies Damien Peverill, Nathan Lovett-Murray or Darcy Daniher - will replace Davey in the side.

Fox Sports are saying it could be season ending. For his sake I hope it's not.

Thats sad, I hope it isn't a season ending injury, while I don't particularly like him, I like watching him play. He played well in last years Anzac day game, so this could be considered a good thing for us. Must suck to get inujured the day before a game like this.:thumbsd:

He'a a gun player and a joy to watch. I hope it's not serious.

Its a really big shock to us! I am still unsure about the game. I think you guys will win.

Bad luck I hope he recovers quickly. Only bad thing about footy is far too many injuries. Wonder how Rocca is going ?

Well it is really bad luck for him, he's a pretty good player & will probably be missed in the bommers team.
I don't mean to be rude but on the bright-ish side, that's one less player we have to worry about today. He always seems to run rings around us at times & I hate him getting the ball because he can be so dangerous.:thumbsd:

GO PIES!

That's a real shame, he's a very entertaining player to watch and obviously quite important to the Bombers' prospects...
